Sex differences in the management of patients with acute coronary syndrome: A population-based ecological cross-sectional study in Spain
Abstract Introduction and objectives Despite evidence of a reduction in the incidence and mortality of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), some studies have highlighted differences in outcomes between men and women. We aimed to explore sex differences in the management and treatment of patients with ACS in Spain. Methods This ecological cross-sectional study combined ACS data from 10 Spanish registries (54 centres). Meta-regression analysis was performed using aggregated data of baseline characteristics, interventional procedures, treatments, and events that occurred during hospitalization and one-year follow-up. Results Aggregated data from 34 605 patients (75.1% men) was included. ST-segment e…
Carga de comorbilidad y beneficio de la revascularización en ancianos con síndrome coronario agudo
Introduction and objectives: To evaluate the interaction between comorbidity burden and the benefits of in-hospital revascularization in elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). Methods: This retrospective study included 7211 patients aged ≥ 70 years from 11 Spanish NSTEACS registries. Six comorbidities were evaluated: diabetes, peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, renal failure, and anemia. A propensity score was estimated to enable an adjusted comparison of in-hospital revascularization and conservative management. The end point was 1-year all-cause mortality. Results: In total, 1090 patients (15%) died. Th…
Carga de comorbilidad y beneficio de la revascularización en ancianos con síndrome coronario agudo
Resumen Introduccion y objetivos El objetivo es evaluar la interaccion entre carga de comorbilidad y beneficio de la revascularizacion en ancianos con sindrome coronario agudo sin elevacion del ST (SCASEST). Metodos Estudio retrospectivo que incluyo a 7.211 pacientes de edad ≥ 70 anos y procedentes de 11 registros de SCASEST espanoles. Se evaluaron 6 comorbilidades (diabetes mellitus, arteriopatia periferica, enfermedad cerebrovascular, enfermedad pulmonar cronica, insuficiencia renal y anemia). Se calculo una puntuacion de propension para comparar el efecto de la revascularizacion frente al tratamiento conservador. El objetivo fue la mortalidad a 1 ano. Resultados Al ano habian fallecido 1…
